He's a very technical wrestler. He knows where he is on the mat at all times. He goes from move, to move, to move. He had a minor setback here. But for the future I see him being a state champion. I have high expectations for him. |
He's been a great coach for a long time, and the only thing that's been missing on his resume is a championship and now he has that championship. And now I think you really have to consider him one of the best coaches in the game. |
He's coming in and out of his breaks really well. He's always been a very sudden player, Brandon, in terms of getting in and out of his breaks. ... That's where you obviously create the most separation, is right out of the breaks. |
He's fit in very nicely. The players responded. They're having fun. They look forward to the weekly game plans now and the challenges that each defense presents. They look forward in anticipation to how Coach wants to attack them. |
He's followed my career through high school, college and through the NBA. You want somebody who knows your game inside out, who knows what you like to do in certain situations. I'm excited about this opportunity and truly blessed. |
He's got a history of playing the game the right way and he's gonna mean as much to us in our clubhouse as he does on the field. He had a chance to earn a spot on the big-league club. It didn't work out and we're glad to have him. |
He's got an electric arm. He's got electric stuff. We've seen him get up to 96 [mph], with a 90-mph slider. He hasn't been consistent with that stuff, but in a short amount of time, he's shown major-league stuff, without question. |
He's hit some decent form and a lot of our stuff revolves around him and we rely on him a lot . He keeps us going forward and has added a different dimension to us that we have perhaps lacked in the last couple of couple of years. |
He's hungry. If he misses a shot, he'll follow up his shot two, three times until he scores. As a coach, you can draw up any scheme you want, but you can't stop a player who is driven. He's hitting the boards like a power forward. |
He's loyal, he has a high (grade point average) and he has the desire to do the extra things in the off-season. He has a blue-collar work ethic and he's a very dependable leader. The coaching staff is very proud of what he's done. |
He's not a cookie-cutter receiver. He's a little different, and that's one thing I admire about what Pittsburgh has done. They've taken a Randle El and a Hines Ward and have known what to do with those guys. They've been creative. |
He's not the prototype tailback because he doesn't have quite the field vision or shake to him that the really good tailbacks have. But he has deceptive speed. We ran the legs off him, so he can take a pounding. He's very durable. |
He's not the typical second-year quarterback. He's a very smart guy and he's big. If the first pass isn't there he's able to move around; he's not a big speed guy, but he's able to avoid sacks. That puts a lot more pressure on us. |
He's obviously capable of driving the ball out of the ballpark. Things sometimes come in bunches. You'd like to see them come consistently, but Kevin has one of the best right-handed swings around. He can help us when he gets hot. |
He's one of the two or three guys we run plays for to go one-on-one or come off a screen to make people guard him in space. And when he gets his feet set and gets himself gathered, he shots a very high percentage from the outside. |
